I know how difficult it is to get a new site up off it's feet.
I have authored three other blog sites in the past (two of them were semi-updated and one was regularly updated).
It took me several months for me to get enough traffic on the blog that was updated daily to feel as though I were being heard. At the time, I never really did do anything to attempt to drive more traffic to my other blog site, but now I understand how important it can be.
Before I stopped updating my other blog site, I was getting about 15,000 visitors a month, thanks to some networking within the community.
So why did I stop blogging at my other site?
Well first of all, it was based on my daily activities as a trader. My job is stressful enough as it is already and I just felt as though the blog was affecting my performance. I also felt that I needed to step away from the markets and relax at the end of the trading day - and so a decision was made to stop updating the site.
Who knows, maybe at some point in the future I might go back to updating it, but for now, my focus is on this site and so my first goal will be to attract enough people to this site so that 1000 visitors visit the site in a single month.
Once this goal is accomplished, I will increase that number and perhaps begin including other sub-goals (like number of RSS readers and advertising revenue).
